love the concept, but the website navigation sucks! They need a new design flow.
Also, worth looking at RealtyMogul.com I've invested in a number of their deals and very happy.
This business model all comes down to deal flow. Diversified deal flow with good experienced managers and you have a good business.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e4e5069bedd6f7effd56bSterlingMon, 10 Mar 2014 19:44:16 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e4e5069bedd6f7effd56b
As you can see, both liberalism and conservatism are very close, they are also NOTHING........ not even in the F_cking ballpark of what the Republicons and the Deamoncrates want.
------------------------------
Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality.[1] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas such as free and fair elections, civil rights, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free trade, and private property.[2][3][4][5][6]
Liberalism first became a distinct political movement during the Age of Enlightenment, when it became popular among philosophers and economists in the Western world. Liberalism rejected the notions, common at the time, of hereditary privilege, state religion, absolute monarchy, and the Divine Right of Kings. The 17th century philosopher John Locke is often credited with founding liberalism as a distinct philosophical tradition. Locke argued that each man has a natural right to life, liberty and property[7] and according to the social contract, governments must not violate these rights. Liberals opposed traditional conservatism and sought to replace absolutism in government with representative democracy and the rule of law. The revolutionaries of the Glorious Revolution, American Revolution, segments of the French Revolution, and other liberal revolutionaries from that time used liberal philosophy to justify the armed overthrow of what they saw as tyrannical rule. The nineteenth century saw liberal governments established in nations across Europe, Spanish America, and North America.[8] In this period, the dominant ideological opponent of liberalism was classical conservatism. During the twentieth century, liberal ideas spread even further, as liberal democracies found themselves on the winning side in both world wars. Liberalism also survived major ideological challenges from new opponents, such as fascism and communism. In Europe and North America, there was also the rise of social liberalism,[9][10] which is related with social democracy in Europe. As such, the meaning of the word "liberalism" began to diverge in different parts of the world. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, "In the United States, liberalism is associated with the welfare-state policies of the New Deal program of the Democratic administration of Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt, whereas in Europe it is more commonly associated with a commitment to limited government and laissez-faire economic policies."[11] Consequently in the U.S., the ideas of individualism and laissez-faire economics previously associated with classical liberalism, became the basis for the emerging school of right wing libertarian thought.[12] Today, liberal political parties remain a political force with varying degrees of power and influence on many countries (see Liberalism by country).http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e4bda6da811830df5dbb5pushbuttonchimpMon, 10 Mar 2014 19:33:46 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e4bda6da811830df5dbb5
What part of good, sound personal finance would advocate paying $3000/month in rent, even if you're making a lot of money? 36K a year for rent? Really? Most people don't make enough to justify that--maybe double-income households without having the need for space, or kids. Geez, who wants to live like that.
Rentals used to be a gateway to home ownership, and an opportunity for people that do not have the ways and means to buy something, to find housing. Los Angeles has rent control, but even there the rents are overpriced, considering what you get, which is typically run-down and/or old, and in need of demolition or upgrades. SF Rents and even the Bay Area have a few rentals worth considering, but even still, overpriced, and run down compared to what you get in other parts of the US for half the money. If you have to live in run-down housing, do you really need to live in SF? Even Mountain View has old, crappy rundowns with hardly any space.
SF is a fools real estate market. If you're in tech and if you have to live there, tell your employer you won't work in SF without subsidizing the rent, it's ridiculous. Who cares if it's working for one of the dot-coms, they're not that different from just about anywhere else in tech. You'll work your ass off with all the standard stuff, and at the end of the day you'll have to go home. If you spend all your paycheck on rent, what's the point with the big paycheck?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e4b746bb3f74509c21ec5Rent Control leads to gougingMon, 10 Mar 2014 19:32:04 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e4b746bb3f74509c21ec5
San Francisco rent-control laws lead to price gouging. Look up an example of the detrimental effects of rent control in any basic economics text book. Just leads to excessively high prices (gouging) for new entrants to the market, deteriorating quality of rental properties, so on and so forth.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e4b1b6da8119a0df5dbb0SterlingMon, 10 Mar 2014 19:30:35 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e4b1b6da8119a0df5dbb0

Conservatives typically see Richard Hooker as the founding father of conservatism, along with the Marquess of Halifax, David Hume and Edmund Burke. Halifax promoted pragmatism in government, whilst Hume argued against political rationalism. Burke was the private secretary to the Marquis of Rockingham and official pamphleteer to the Rockingham branch of the Whig Party.[7] Together with the Tories, they were the conservatives in the late 18th century United Kingdom.[8] Burke's views were a mixture of liberal and conservative, with reference to the meaning of those terms in that time period (which was markedly different from their implications today). He supported the American Revolution but abhorred the violence of the French Revolution. He accepted the liberal ideals of private property and the economics of Adam Smith, but thought that economics should be kept subordinate to the conservative social ethic, that capitalism should be subordinate to the medieval social tradition and that the business class should be subordinate to aristocracy.[9] He insisted on standards of honor derived from the medieval aristocratic tradition, and saw the aristocracy as the nation's natural leaders.[10] That meant limits on the powers of the Crown, since he found the institutions of Parliament to be better informed than commissions appointed by the executive. He favored an established church, but allowed for a degree of religious toleration.[11] Burke justified the social order on the basis of tradition: tradition represented the wisdom of the species and he valued community and social harmony over social reforms.[12] Burke was a leading theorist in this early period, finding extreme idealism (either Tory or Whig) an endangerment to broader liberties, and (like Hume) rejecting abstract reason as an unsound guide for political theory. Despite their influence on future conservative thought, none of these early contributors were explicitly involved in Tory politics. Hooker lived in the 16th century, long before the advent of toryism, whilst Hume was an apolitical philosopher and Halifax similarly politically independent. Burke described himself as a Whig.

Of course some of those things would not be relevant in a democracy, But for the most part, the theories could be blended into modern life.
We are a nation of laws by the people and for the people, Capitalism should work within those laws and for the betterment of the citizens of the United States.
True Liberal, Conservatives and honest American citizens want the same thing. Republicans, Democrats and thieves have their own agenda. May they get exactly what they deserve.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e44c1eab8ead562dee39etivoboyMon, 10 Mar 2014 19:03:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e44c1eab8ead562dee39e

Good people don't lie and conservative godfather Leo Strauss has implored his fellow cons to lie to hold onto power.
Democracy relies on voters that know the truth. To make lying a central strategy of your politics is a direct attack on America. Conservatives are democracies worst enemy because they wish to destroy the basis on which it can correctly function.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e390e6bb3f7114ac21ecbByte MeMon, 10 Mar 2014 18:13:34 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e390e6bb3f7114ac21ecb
If you believe that's the only reason people want to live in S.F. you are mistaken. The weather, the night-life, the high wages, among other things are what's driving people to the Bay Area. If it were only because people want to live in "liberal towns" then why the hell are these same people trying to drive out the tech industry, one of the most liberal vertical markets there is?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e38f66da8112d33f5dbb3SterlingMon, 10 Mar 2014 18:13:10 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e38f66da8112d33f5dbb3
This has nothing to do with Conservatism, if you want to bitch at Republicans, be my guest, but leave the good name of conservative alone.
Now to the point.
This is just printed dollars looking for a home. Nobody in their right mind that has EARNED money would throw it away in this obvious bubble.
This printed money came from both the ASSHOLES! Republican and DEAMONCRAT. May they both get what they deserve.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e37456da8116e38f5dbafMa ! BI is picking on Wall StMon, 10 Mar 2014 18:05:57 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e37456da8116e38f5dbaf

According to conservatives own definition the most accurate barometer in the world ( the market ) indicates people want to live in San Francisco more than almost any other place in the country. That's because they have among the highest housing prices.
And San Francisco IS VERY VERY LIBERAL.
People wanna live in liberal towns. The market is never wrong right cons.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e35d969bedd0219ffd56eThank you FEDMon, 10 Mar 2014 17:59:53 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531e35d969bedd0219ffd56e

"The point of Tycoon, he says, it be an "inclusion thing...."? What garbage! BI, as usual, you hype everything! But if the Wall Street crowd does/did this you would(did) be (scream) screaming fraud! These type of scams, are just the type of things which pop up during a bubble! People are at heart greedy, whether Wall Street or Main Street. Anyone who invests in this garbage deserve the losses which are sure to follow!
